"Children are made readers on the laps of their parents." Emilie Buchwald
In Room 7, we spend most of our morning focusing on phonemic awareness and beginning reading skills. This time is spent in both a large group setting and with small group instruction. This format allows us to focus on phonemic awareness skills, phonics, letter recognition, sight word development, and writing.
To support our reading program, Mrs. Cave, our reading specialist, works with chosen students for additional practice. Because reading is a priority at Central Elementary, all kindergarten children will have regularly scheduled Central Elementary library times and periodic visits to the Public Library. As parents, you can also support your child's reading progress at home by reading to your child and listening to your child read. Throughout the year I will be sending home games, activities and paper books for you to do with your child. Please, take the time to show your child you value his/her learning.
My expectation is that you will spend time reading with and listening to your child read on a regular basis.
